Punitive damages, meant to punish the at-fault party in extreme cases.

Common Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents MO

Most motorcyclists know how important it is to drive defensively and minimize the risk to themselves and others on the road.Unfortunately, the negligence of another driver is often to blame when a motorcyclist is seriously injured in a roadway collision.

Common injuries suffered in motorcycle crashes in St. Louis include:

Head and neck injuries.

Although a helmet can reduce the risk of traumatic brain injury (TBI) or death, it cannot eliminate the risk.Likewise, “whiplash,” spinal cord damage, and other injuries to the neck and head can occur in a serious crash.

Back and spinal cord injuries.

Spinal cord injuries (SCI) are among the most expensive and difficult to treat. Any part of the spinal cord, from the neck to the low back, might be injured in a motorcycle accident, with life-altering results. Even if the spinal cord is undamaged, broken vertebrae, damaged discs, or nerve injuries can cause ongoing problems with pain, mobility, and feeling.

Broken bones.

Many motorcycle accidents result in one or more fractured bones, especially if the driver “wipes out” during the crash.Broken bones may require surgery to repair. They nearly always involve pain, swelling, a long period of recovery, and physical therapy and rehabilitation to restore muscle strength and mobility after the bone has healed.

“Road burn.”

This occurs when the skin is flayed or scraped away by rubbing against a rough surface, such as the surface of the road. Like a burn caused by heat, road burn damages or destroys one or more layers of skin, causing extreme pain and greatly increasing the risk of infection. The risks are increased further when debris from the road becomes embedded in the skin, causing infection or pain.

Mental and psychological injuries.

Trauma is a normal response to an abnormal event – and a motorcycle crash can cause severe trauma. Many people who suffer motorcycle accidents experience anxiety, depression, insomnia, mood swings, or “flashbacks” to the event. These symptoms are just as real as the symptoms of physical injury – and they can be just as disabling if they are not treated by a qualified professional.

Even if you feel OK right after a motorcycle accident, it’s important to see a doctor as soon as possible. There are many motorcycle accident injuries that may go unnoticed initially but cause serious harm if left untreated.

What To Do After You Are Injured in a Motorcycle Accident

If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle crash, there are steps you can take to protect yourself and your claim for compensation. Here’s where to start:

Keep all your doctor’s appointments.

See a doctor as soon as possible after the crash. Keep all your appointments, including any visits to specialists or for testing such as X-rays. If you were prescribed medication or medical devices, read the instructions and follow them. Call your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about the instructions. Most importantly, if your symptoms change or get worse, contact your doctor’s office immediately.

Store your paperwork in a safe place.

Choose a single safe place to keep copies of all the paperwork related to your accident.Paperwork such as medical bills and reports, accident reports, information from insurance companies, and repair or replacement bills for your motorcycle and other property should go in this location. This paperwork will help support your case for compensation.

Notify your insurance company about the MO accident.

Contact your insurance company about your motorcycle crash as soon as possible. If you miss your insurance policy’s deadline for filing your claim, insurance will not cover it. Whenever you talk to your insurance company, stick to the facts: what happened, where and when it happened, and who was involved. Don’t say the accident was your fault.Instead, say that you’re waiting to see what the investigation reveals.

Talk to a St. Louis Motorcycle attorney.

A lawyer with experience handling motorcycle accident claims can help you negotiate with insurance companies, build a case for the compensation you need, and go to court to demand that the at-fault party be held accountable for the damage you have suffered.
